Jets re-assign Tanev, announce Myers surgery

This season has been a tough one for Tyler Myers. After playing in only 11 games earlier in the season, Myers suffered a lower-body injury that has kept him out all season. Now, he will require surgery.

The surgery requires six to eight weeks to recover from, and the team plans on having Myers back for the end of the season. According to Illegal Curve, the injury is not in the same spot as where he had two surgeries last season.

As noted by Lawless above, the Jets have had difficulty getting any sort of push into their to four this season.

Of the course of his three years in Winnipeg Myers has battled a levy of injuries. Despite playing in 73 games last year, he still required hip and knee surgery following last season that took him a while to recover from.

Now, his latest surgery will see him remain out of the lineup for sometime.

As a result, Brandon Tanev has been re-assigned to the @ManitobaMoose.
